Segmentation of kidneys, spleen, and liver. Segmented separately.
Simultaneous multi-object segmentation.
Simultaneous multi-object segmentation.
Highlighted in the circle, the objects are touching, but no overlapping. In fact, with shorter iteration, heart had been "invading" liver. But with long iteration, liver surface pushes heart surface out.
Recording the surface evolution history.

Objective
Develop a general purpose active contour segmentor in Slicer3.
More detail and testing are at here.
Approach, Plan
Driven by the robust statistics, we provide an active contour segmentor module for general purpose in Sclier3. The algorithm will simultaneously extract multiple objects in the scene given some user provided labels.
Plan for project week: Integrated into Slicer3 using interactive module.
Progress
The CLI is already on Extension server and ready to be used through extension manager in Slicer.
The next step is to change the user input manner from fiducial points to label maps.
Furthermore, we plan to use multiple labels to simultaneously extract multiple objects.
Work done during this week
- Use label map, instead of fiducial points, as input. This brings two benefits:
- User friendly: easier to set more seeds ===> Better knowledge.
- Can assign different labels
- Simultaneous multi-object segmentation
- Keep the history. Though level set can not go backward. Use can pull scroll bar back if contour leakages, don't have to start from beginning again.
